About Me

I specialize in industrial automation, software development, and AI-driven workflows — combining deep PLC expertise with modern development practices and autonomous AI agents.

I build AI agent systems that write code, manage projects, and ship production software autonomously. From factory floor control systems to intelligent development pipelines — I turn complex problems into automated solutions.
